The weather has been beautiful and I had a wonderful time with the landscape group this week. We’re always scouting locations and our leader found a place where we could walk up a rise and then look down on a house and barn. Everybody paints barns but they do have so much character. The perspective from where I was standing was a challenge; the roof seemed unusually long and low. But nothing (except maybe the NY Times Sun. crossword) engages me as intensely as figuring out perspective. Fall foliage is getting more vivid every day. This is my favorite time, with the yellows and ochres still muted and with a lot of green still mixed in. Peak foliage sometimes seems to me not quite believable. Anyway, it’s really nice to have a change from all the unrelieved green of high summer.
